Bellariffic Friday - Birthday Wishes

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we our challenge was Birthday Wishes.  I inked up the oh-so-cute Owliver Loves to Celebrate .

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics using the ColourMap that you can download for free.  I used the matching Cut it Out die to cut him out.  The paper is Jillibean Soup "Spotted Owl Soup".  I added a button tied with some baker's twine and a few dots around Owliver.  I could not resist adding some glossy accents to his glasses - so cute!

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Washi or ribbon.  So you can use any current image and just add some washi tape or ribbon and you're done!  Be sure to email your card to Emily by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.

Bellariffic Friday - Mojobella Sketch 9

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we are up to Mojobella Sketch 9 - I loved this sketch!

I inked up The Stuffie Gang with Memento Tuxedo black ink and stamped it onto Bella’s Bestest paper.  

I am loving the Marker Geek Mondays that Elaineabella does and so I followed her colouring tutorial here for the bear.  It was my very first time trying some "texture" with the copic colourless blender solution on a piece of fabric.  I like how it turned out but I think I need a more detailed piece of fabric next time for more texture.  Just be sure and do what Elaineabella says :)....."tap off the excess solution before taking the cloth to your image".  I didn't AND had to start all over.  Fortunately, I had only coloured the bear.  Lesson learned the hard way - LOL.  The rest of the image is coloured with copics and again I followed the Colour Map that Elaineabella had done.

The paper is Echo Park "A Walk in the Park".  I chose to use a different sentiment than what comes with The Stuffie Gang on my banner.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Uptown Girl Serena has a Sign.  I added some Wink of Stella to the balloon and the little pig's hat for some sparkle and a couple of enamel dots on the banner.

Bellariffic Friday - Inspiration Challenge 2

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we had another Inspiration photo to work with.

For my card I took the colours and flowers as my inspiration and inked up the super cute Bunny Wobble and the Peony.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured it with copics.  The paper is MME Indie Chic "Saffron".  I love the "bundle" sets Emily sells - it makes it so easy to stamp the image and then use the co-ordinating Cut It Out - no more fussy cutting and super easy to get in all those tiny little spots!  I added a scallop border along the top and bottom and some glossy accents to her floral headband.  I also used the co-ordinating Cut It Out for the sentiment that comes in the bundle.

Bellariffic Friday - Mojobella Sketch 8

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week we have another great Mojobella Sketch!

I rotated the sketch once to the left to work with my image Pampered.   I adore this image and it was a perfect thank you for a sweet, sweet friend who gave me a gift certificate to the spa - I LOVE the spa!!   The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured with copics.  I used the stitched rectangle die to cut it out. 

The paper is retired SU and I added a couple of Fishtail Flags dies and a trio of sequins in the corner.  The sentiment is from UG Serena Has A Sign.  

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Inspiration Challenge #2.  Use anything from this photo as your inspiration.

Bellariffic Friday - Free Form

It's Bellariffic Friday and this week the challenge was Free Form - so anything you feel like creating.  It's also the first Friday of the month so that means all the Bellababes will be using the stamp of the month - Uptown Girl Lolly and her Brolly.  It's 20% off for the whole month of April.  

It's also April 1st - April Fools Day - can you spot the mistake on my card? **

I stamped Lolly with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Bella’sBestest paper and coloured her with copics.  Her umbrella and boots are paper pieced.

I added several patches of grass using the new Bella Grass and Grounds.  

The paper is Echo Park 'A walk in the park".  I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of vellum and added two dots to help hold it in place, even though I wrapped it around the base.  

Be sure to check out the rest of the BellaBabes and the Sistah's cards for this week on Blogabella.  Next week's Bellariffic Friday challenge is Mojobella Sketch 8.

We hope you'll get stamping with us. It's easy to play along - just ink up any current (check the website) Stamping Bella image, and email your card to Emily by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks.

** My mistake:  I glued the raindrop paper on upside down and only noticed when I was taking the photo for this post....too late to fix it then.  "Once it's stuck, you're out of luck" :)
